The double-drum washing machine has two mutually independent washing drums, and a user can select any one of the two washing drums to clean clothes or select the two washing drums to clean the clothes simultaneously. Therefore, the clothes can be cleaned according to classification by material categories of the clothes, or categories of adult and baby clothes. Thus, the washing machine is deeply favored by the public.

[0003] However, two display panels are mostly adopted by an existing double-drum washing machine to control the two washing drums respectively. Therefore, the production cost is relatively high. In addition, one display panel is adopted by some existing double-drum washing machines, and control interfaces of the washing drums are switched by a physical key and other mechanical modes to respectively control the two washing drums. Therefore, an operation process is complicated, and an appearance is not beautiful, causing inconvenience for the user to view an operating state of the washing drums and set working parameters.

[0004] WO 2008/148400 A1 discloses a dual drum washing machine having two automatic washing units in series, wherein the discharged water of the first unit is the feeding water of the second unit, with the option of input fresh water directly to the second unit. It results in less quantity of polluted water, saving water, energy, detergent and time. Another dual drum washing machine is disclosed in document DE 10 2008 027977 A1.

[0005] US 2003/025733 A1 discloses a display system for an appliance that incorporates an electronic interface screen, such as an LCD touch screen, through which a wide range of information concerning operational, diagnostic and other data concerning the appliance can be displayed. The screen is divided into a number of panels for displaying different sets of information. Selecting one of the panels results in the panel becoming enlarged so as to fill the entire LCD screen while, at the same time, displaying an additional layer of detailed information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] To make purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below through embodiments by referring to drawings in embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, embodiments described are part of embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those ordinary skilled in the art without contributing creative labor belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a washing machine provided by one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the washing machine includes: a touch display screen 110, at least two mutually independent washing units, and a control module 120 connected with the touch display screen 110 and the at least two washing units, wherein the at least two washing units are described by taking two washing units as an example, and include a first washing unit 130 and a second washing unit 140.

[0034] Herein, a touch display screen 110 of the present invention can be split into screens to simultaneously display a control menu of the first washing unit 130 and a control menu of the second washing unit 140. Therefore, a user can carry out a touch control on a control menu on any one split screen of the touch display screen 110, to control the washing unit corresponding to the split screen and set a working parameter of the corresponding washing unit.

[0035] By taking the first washing unit 130 as an example, when the user carries out the touch control on the control menu on the split screen corresponding to the first washing unit 130, the touch display screen 110 receives a touch control signal corresponding to the first washing unit 130, the control module 120 independently controls the first washing unit 130 according to the touch control signal received by the touch display screen 110, and the first washing unit 130 is operated under a control of the control module 120. The control module 120 further monitors an operating state of the first washing unit 130 in real time, and controls a corresponding split screen of the first washing unit 130 to display the operating state of the first washing unit 130 according to the operating state. When a current user does not carry out a touch control operation on the split screen of the second washing unit 140, the second washing unit 140 keeps an original state, and the control module 120 controls a split screen corresponding to the second washing unit 140 in real time to display an operating state of the second washing unit 140 according to a state of the second washing unit 140. In view of this, the split screen corresponding to the second washing unit 140 and the split screen corresponding to the first washing unit 130 can be mutually independent, and the touch display screen 110 is configured to adjust and split screen under the control of the control module 120 to simultaneously display operating states of corresponding washing units.

[0036] In addition, a switching icon is further provided on the touch display screen 110 to switch interfaces of two washing units. The touch display screen 110 is usually divided into at least two split screens by using the switching icon provided on the touch display screen 110, wherein one split screen therein is a secondary split screen, and another split screen is a main split screen. An interface size of the secondary split screen on the touch display screen 110 can be less than that of the main split screen, so as to highlight contents on the main split screen, and to facilitate the user to view. By taking the first washing unit 130 corresponding to the current main split screen as an example, a switching icon is displayed on the secondary split screen, and a state interface of the first washing unit 130 is displayed on the main split screen. When the user selects the switching icon, the touch display screen 110 receives a touch control signal, an interface corresponding to the main split screen of the touch display screen 110 is switched, and the switching icon is still displayed on the secondary split screen. Therefore, a working interface of the second washing unit 140 is displayed on the main split screen. Thus, an interface of the current washing unit can be rapidly switched to an interface of another washing unit according to the switching icon.

[0037] It is known that the touch display screen 110 is configured to receive a touch control signal for any one of washing units, and the control module 120 is connected with the touch display screen 110 and the two washing units, so that the control module 120 independently controls corresponding washing units according to the touch control signal received by the touch display screen 110, and the corresponding washing units are operated under the control of the control module 120. With operation of any one of washing units, the control module 120 further controls the touch display screen 110 to split screen to simultaneously display an operating state of the washing unit according to the operating state of the washing unit.

[0038] To describe the washing machine provided by embodiments of the present invention in more detail, the operating state of the washing machine is described herein with a sequence process of operation of the washing machine.

[0039] Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an initial interface of a touch display screen of a washing machine provided by embodiments of the present invention. To reduce an occupied area, a double-drum washing machine can be configured that the two washing units are arranged up and down. Therefore, in Fig. 2, a split screen interface of the first washing unit 130 is displayed on an upper split screen, a control menu of the first washing unit 130 is displayed in the split screen interface; and, a split screen interface of the second washing unit 140 is displayed on a lower split screen, and a control menu of the second washing unit 140 is displayed in the split screen interface. For the touch display screen 110, in all other interfaces of touch display screen 110 except for a configuration interface, the upper split screen is generally used for the split screen interface of the first washing unit 130, and the lower split screen is generally used for the split screen interface of the second washing unit 140, which is taken as a standard hereinafter, so specific instruction and identification will not be given again.

[0040] The touch display screen 110 displays an initial interface when the user places clothes in the selected washing unit and controls the washing machine to start. The initial interface is divided into two split screens. Each of the split screens is configured to display a control menu of one washing unit. Specifically, the initial interface includes two washing unit icons. The two washing unit icons are located in two control menus respectively. Therefore, the initial interface is split into screens to simultaneously display the control menus of the two washing units. Herein, the two washing unit icons include a first icon identifying the first washing unit 130 and a second icon identifying the second washing unit 140. Currently, the two split screens have similar structures. Therefore, division proportions of the two split screens of the initial interface on the touch display screen 110 are the same, and the user can enter configuration interfaces of the corresponding washing units by selecting corresponding icons. Optionally, the touch display screen 110 enters the configuration interface of the first washing unit 130 after receiving a touch control signal indicating that the first icon is selected; or, the touch display screen 110 enters the configuration interface of the second washing unit 140 after receiving a touch control signal indicating that the second icon is selected.

[0041] In addition, since materials of clothes are diversified and washing conditions of the clothes with different materials are also different, a plurality of clothes material icons are also simultaneously displayed in the control menu of each washing unit on the initial interface, and the plurality of clothes material icons at least include: a cotton & linen icon, a silk icon, a jean icon, a down feather icon, a chemical fiber icon, and a wool icon. Herein, the control menu of any one of washing units includes the plurality of clothes material icons. By taking the first washing unit 130 as an example, the user places jeanswear in the first washing unit 130 and then can directly select the jean icon in the control menu of the split screen corresponding to the first washing unit 130 according to the material of the clothes to be washed. The touch display screen 110 enters the configuration interface of the first washing unit 130 when receiving a touch control signal indicating that the jean icon in the split screen corresponding to the first washing unit 130 is selected. A process that the user selects an icon in the split screen corresponding to the second washing unit 140 is similar to that of the first washing unit 130, and is not repeated herein. Therefore, optionally, the touch display screen 110 directly enters the configuration interfaces of the corresponding washing units when receiving a touch control signal indicating that one clothes material icon on the initial interface is selected.

[0042] Fig. 3(a) is a schematic diagram illustrating one configuration interface of a touch display screen of a washing machine provided by embodiments of the present invention. The user selects an icon of one washing unit or selects one clothes material icon on the initial interface, so that the touch display screen 110 will directly switch the display content and display the configuration interface of the selected washing unit after receiving a touch control signal indicating that an icon on the initial interface is selected.

[0043] By taking the first washing unit 130 as an example, when the user selects the first icon on the initial interface, the touch display screen 110 receives a touch control signal, and directly enters the configuration interface of the first washing unit 130. Herein, a default working parameter is preset in the configuration interface, and the working parameter is not a working parameter of a certain clothes material, but a default working parameter of general clothes washing preset by the washing machine. The user can modify the working parameter, or directly set the first washing unit 130 for washing according to the default working parameter. Or, as shown in Fig. 3(a), the user selects another clothes material icon on the split screen corresponding to the first washing unit 130 on the initial interface. By taking the down feather icon as an example, when the user selects the down feather icon, the touch display screen 110 receives a touch control signal, and directly enters a configuration interface of down clothes of the first washing unit 130. Therefore, the touch display screen 110 displays the configuration interface of the first washing unit 130. A default working parameter of down clothes washing is preset on the configuration interface, and the working parameter is a relatively reasonable washing working parameter set by the washing machine according to a material of the down feather. The user can modify the working parameter, and also can directly set the first washing unit 130 for washing according to the default working parameter.

[0044] Specifically, when a configuration interface of any one of washing units is displayed on the current configuration interface, not only a state interface of the washing unit is displayed, but also a configuration menu interface including the switching icon and the plurality of function icons is displayed, wherein the switching icon and the plurality of function icons are located in the same split screen, and a state interface of the washing unit selected currently is displayed on another split screen. Thus, the user can configure the working parameter of the washing unit clearly and rapidly through the configuration interface. Herein, a state interface on the configuration interface is the main split screen, and the configuration menu interface is the secondary split screen. An interface size of the secondary split screen is less than that of the main split screen, so as to facilitate the user to view the state of the current washing unit.

[0045] For the switching icon on the configuration interface, switch identification is usually carried out with two similar circles, wherein a solid circle can represent the current washing unit, and a hollow circle can represent another washing unit. The configuration interface is not changed and is still the configuration interface of the current washing unit when the user selects the solid circle. When the user selects the hollow circle, the touch display screen 110 receives a touch control signal, and the current configuration interface is transformed into a configuration interface of another washing unit. Therefore, optionally, the touch display screen 110 switches the configuration interface of the current washing unit into the configuration interface of another washing unit when receiving a touch control signal indicating that the switching icon is selected, which is convenient and efficient.

[0046] The configuration interface has a plurality of function icons if the working parameter of the corresponding washing unit is set on the configuration interface. Each of the function icons represents a washing function of the washing unit and includes a working parameter list. The working parameter list has a plurality of parameter options. The user can voluntarily select a washing parameter of the washing unit from the plurality of parameter options. Therefore, optionally, the working parameter list corresponding to the function icon is also displayed on the configuration menu interface of the touch display screen 110 and the working parameter of the current washing unit is configured when the touch display screen 110 receives the touch control signal indicating that the function icon is selected.

[0047] It is known that clothes washing should include processes of washing, rinsing and the like. Clothes washing quality is affected by clothes washing temperature and clothes washing rotation speed. Therefore, optionally, the plurality of function icons of the configuration interface at least include: a washing time icon, a rinsing times icon, a clothes washing temperature icon, clothes washing rotation speed icon, and the like. The user can select each washing function for setting, or the user directly washes with the default working parameter without setting the working parameter. As shown in Fig. 3(a), the user sets the first washing unit 130 as the down clothes, so that the default working parameters of the washing machine are as follows: washing for 25min, and rinsing for 2 times, at a temperature of 40°C and a rotation speed of 1000rpm. The user can select the corresponding function icon. The touch display screen 110 displays the working parameter list corresponding to the selected function icon after receiving the touch control signal. The user can modify the working parameter according to the parameter options in the working parameter list, so as to make the first washing unit 130 operate with the working parameters set by the user.

[0048] Fig. 3(b) is a schematic diagram illustrating another configuration interface of a touch display screen of a washing machine provided by embodiments of the present invention. The user can select the washing time icon when the user voluntarily sets the working parameters, and a working parameter menu is displayed in the washing time icon and the working parameter menu includes a plurality of washing time options in a unit of minute, such as 10min, 25min, 30min, 45min and 60min. The user can set the washing time of the current washing unit according to demands of the user. The user selects the rinsing times icon, and the specific rinsing times option includes 1, 2, 3, 4 and the like. The user voluntarily sets the rinsing times of the current washing unit. The user selects a clothes washing temperature icon. The user voluntarily selects the clothes washing temperature of the current washing unit according to the temperature options in the clothes washing temperature icon. The user selects the clothes washing rotation speed icon, and voluntarily sets the clothes washing rotation speed of the current washing unit according to rotation speed options provided in the clothes washing rotation speed icon. Therefore, the user sets working parameters of the current washing unit by selecting at least one function iron, or the user takes default working parameters as the working parameters of the current washing unit. As shown in Fig, 3(b), the user selects the washing time icon to set the washing time.

[0049] Fig. 3(c) is a schematic diagram illustrating another configuration interface of a touch display screen of a washing machine provided by embodiments of the present invention. The configuration menu interface of the configuration interface of the touch display screen 110 further includes other function icons which are multifunction options of the washing machine. If the user has a corresponding need, other function icons can be selected. The touch display screen 110 enters a configuration interface of other functions of the current washing unit and displays a plurality of icons after receiving a touch control signal indicating that other function icons are selected. There is no need to select the other function icons if the user does not need to set other functions of the washing units. Specifically, when the user selects the other function icons, the other function icons at least include: an appointment setting icon, a stain icon and a water level setting icon. The user selects other function icons. The touch display screen 110 enters other function configuration interfaces after receiving a touch control signal indicating that other function icons are selected, and the user sets other washing parameters of the current washing unit. Other function configuration interfaces further include an "others" icon, and relevant setting of the washing machine is entered when the user selects the "others" icon, which is not repeated herein.

[0050] If the user does not need to wash the clothes at the present moment, the appointment setting icon can be selected. The touch display screen 110 displays the working parameter list corresponding to the appointment setting icon after receiving a touch control signal indicating that the appointment setting icon is selected, and the user selects parameters from appointment options of the working parameter list for washing appointment, wherein the appointment option in the appointment setting icon is an appointment time option in a unit of hour, and the user sets an appointment time. When the clothes to be washed is stained with oil stain, stain or fruit juice and other special stains difficult to clean, the user can select the stain icon for stain setting, and after the touch display screen 110 receives a touch control signal indicating that the stain icon is selected, a cleaning process for the stain will be strengthened when the control module 120 controls the washing unit to wash. A washing water level can be set to be high or low by selecting the water level setting icon when the user has a requirement for the water level of the washing clothes.

[0051] Fig. 3(d) is a schematic diagram illustrating another configuration interface of a touch display screen of a washing machine provided by embodiments of the present invention. The user specifically sets the down clothes that the current washing unit prepares to wash, and the set appointment time is 5 hours. Then, the washing machine starts appointment timing when the user selects a start key, and after 5 hours the washing machine washes the clothes in the current washing unit according to the working parameters set by the user. In addition, one split screen displays that a state of the current washing unit is a working state that a down feather procedure will be completed in 5 hours, and another split screen displays an interface including the switching icon, a plurality of function icons and the like.

[0052] Thus, the user completes the setting of the working parameters of the current washing unit according to various functions of the configuration interface. The user can select the switching icon at any time to directly switch the configuration interface of the washing unit and configures the working parameters of another washing unit in a process that the user configures the working parameters of the current washing unit.

[0053] Fig. 4(a) is a schematic diagram illustrating one operation interface of a touch display screen of a washing machine provided by embodiments of the present invention. A start key of the configuration interface is clicked after the configuration of the configuration interface is completed. It is known that control module 120 is connected with the touch display screen 110, so that the touch display screen 110 receives the setting of a user on the configuration interface and a touch control signal for starting washing operation and the like, and the control module 120 controls the corresponding washing units according to the touch control signal to wash according to the working parameters configured by the user. Thus, the touch display screen 110 is transformed to an operation interface. The touch display screen 110 is split into screens to simultaneously display the operating states of the washing units. As shown in the Figure, the touch display screen 110 displays the operation interface, and the operation interface is split into screens to simultaneously display the operating state of the first washing unit 130 and the operating state of the second washing unit 140.

[0054] By taking the second washing unit 140 shown in Fig. 4(a) as an example, it can be known that the first washing unit 130 is not operated when the second washing unit 140 is in a washing process. Therefore, the operation interface takes the second washing unit 140 during washing as the main split screen, and the split screen interface has a relatively big proportion; and the operation interface takes the first washing unit 130 which is not operated as the secondary split screen, and the split screen interface has a relatively small proportion, and is located at one side of the touch display screen 110.

[0055] For the second washing unit 140 in operation, the operating state (such as, washing time: 120min, washing progress: 39%, and the washing state: undergoing washing) of the second washing unit140 is displayed on the split screen interface of the second washing unit 140 if the second washing unit 140 is undergoing washing. The operating state of the second washing unit 140 displayed on the split screen interface of the second washing unit 140 is that the procedure will be completed in x hours, and an appointment progress, and the like if the second washing unit 140 is undergoing appointment. When the second washing unit 140 is undergoing washing or appointment, the user can select to pause the operating state of the second washing unit 140 through the split screen interface of the second washing unit 140; and the control module 120 controls the second washing unit 140 to pause operation according to a touch control signal after the touch display screen 110 receives the touch control signal indicating that a pause icon is selected; or, when the second washing unit 140 is undergoing washing pause or appointment pause, the control module 120 controls the second washing unit 140 to start operation according to a touch control signal after the touch display screen 110 receives the touch control signal indicating that a start icon is selected.

[0056] For the first washing unit 130 which is not operated, "the first washing unit 130 is not operated | Click to enter a procedure selection page" is displayed on the split screen interface of the first washing unit 130. If the user needs to start the first washing unit 130, the user can select the split screen interface of the first washing unit 130 on the operation interface, and click the split screen interface; and the touch display screen 110 enters the procedure selection page of the first washing unit 130 after receiving a touch control signal indicating that the split screen interface of the first washing unit 130 is selected, thereby realizing the configuration or operation for the first washing unit 130.

[0057] Fig. 4(b) is a schematic diagram illustrating another operation interface of a touch display screen of a washing machine provided by embodiments of the present invention. By taking a state that the second washing unit 140 is operated and the first washing unit 130 is not operated as an example, if the user selects the split screen interface of the first washing unit 130 and places the clothes in the first washing unit 130, the split screen interfaces of the touch display screen 110 have the same proportion, the split screen interface of the first washing unit 130 has the same size as that of the second washing unit 140, two split screens on the touch display screen 110 are transformed into a state of 1:1, the control module 120 controls the split screen of the first washing unit 130 on the touch display screen 110 to display the state of the first washing unit 130 according to the operating state of the first washing unit 130, and the split screen interface corresponding to the current first washing unit 130 displays a state of weighing the clothes in the first washing unit 130.
